Home improvement or not...

My dear little one is now missing 3 teeth for Christmas but man are they growing in fast. He is practicing whistling but only occasionally giving us showers. Hard to tell but 2 on top and one on the bottom.

Right now he is very excited that Christmas happens tomorrow for us as we are traveling for the holidays and he hopes that Santa will have gotten his note and be aware that we are not here. So tomorrow we are opening our presents and never know if Santa will make it here in time.

So probably not much posting from here on out til the New Year of 2010!!!

Since we will be traveling for the holidays, we have decided to go minimally on decorations this year and so Gavin is decorating his tree.

What a poser!

I think he likes my coke bears as much as I do-- except he keeps trying to run off with them.

Oh! Can you find Gavin?12/5/09 am Mom comes home from a work and Gavin hands me his second tooth! "See Mom it fell out on its own!" What a cutie I had to take a picture of his toothless grin! We will probably have both of the teeth in by Christmas the way they are growing. So I guess it might not be "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"

Every second Tuesday, the Air Force Academy visits the school and shows the kids how to play certain sports and yesterday was baseball and Gavin enjoyed it more than the rest! He was overjoyed and hyped! They learned to throw, hit and actually play the game. Here are pictures:

50th day of school and dress up from the 50's. Here is my reluctant greaser upset that mom made him dress up. "I don't like the 50's Mom". Gavin liked this picture of the full moon because it looked like a heart so I thought I would share it with you. I was experiment with different buttons on the camera! Enjoy!!!

Time for yard work but it looks like that Gavin is having much more fun laying/jumping in my pile of leaves.

Throwing piles of leaves at Mom.

Here is my knight in shining armor.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

I had to work so the boys had to do their own trick or treating. They went up and down the block and a few other streets and when I called Gavin later in the evening to find out how it was he said "Mom our street gave up on Halloween, they only had 3 houses for treats". What a disappointment for a little kid. So they went a few blocks and then came home and passed out candy at the house while some friends came over.
